Per the Declaration of Arbroath Scots Gaelic isn't indigenous but would
have instead been introduced by the scots when they genocided the picts
(note this didn't actually happen, probably). I also find it somewhat
unlikely that we are going to find someone who can read ogham.
In practice the number of Scots Gaelic speakers appears to be falling
rather fast and it isn't our job to counter that. The number of Scots
Gaelic speakers who don't speak english or the lowland scots dialect of
english is also nill so english should suffice.
